Main Event

• In a main event rematch for the men’s bantamweight championship, titleholder Merab Dvalishvili takes on the 2024 ESPYS Best UFC Fighter award winner and No. 1 contender Sean O’Malley, following their last bout headlining the Emmy Award-winning Noche UFC. Dvalishvili (19-4), with the most takedowns in UFC history (92) and second longest active UFC win streak (12) with victories over four former champions, plans to make it consecutive wins vs. O’Malley in his second title defense in 6 months. O’Malley (18-2), the former bantamweight champion and second Dana White’s Contender Series alum to win a UFC title, plans to return to his superstar ways with a showstopping KO and prove he’s still the one to beat.

Co-Main Event

• The co-main event features a heated rivalry in the night’s first title fight, when current champion Julianna Peña takes on two-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist and No. 2 contender Kayla Harrison for the women’s bantamweight championship. Peña (13-5), the first female winner of The Ultimate Fighter and two-time UFC champion tied for the division’s most finish wins among active fighters (4), makes the first title defense of her second reign with plans for a dominant victory. Harrison (18-1), a multi-time MMA champion, looks to make it 3-0 inside the Octagon in her first UFC title opportunity and send a strong message to the rest of the division.

Additional PPV Card Highlights

• In a critical middleweight contest, The Ultimate Fighter winner Kelvin Gastelum (20-9), the soon-to-be Hall of Fame inductee, takes on Dana White’s Contender Series alum Joe Pyfer (13-3), as Pyfer looks to improve on his 92% career finish rate.
• At men’s bantamweight, No. 10 Mario Bautista (15-2), entering with the division’s second-longest win streak among active fighters at 7, goes head-to-head with Patchy Mix (20-1), who looks to improve upon his own seven-fight career win streak in his Octagon debut.
• No. 14 Vicente Luque (23-10-1) takes on Kevin Holland (27-13) to open the ESPN+ PPV main card in what promises to be an exciting showdown at welterweight between two fighters with a combined 42 finishes across 50 career wins.
